Re: How strong is the frame?
In all honesty the frame would be the least of my concerns. I have seen alot more bent or broken springs than frames. Usually the bent frames where due to someone hooking a logging chain to it when stuck and broken were from rust. So with that in mind I would just get a truck that can handle the weight and make sure the brakes are good to go. I am going out on a limb here and guessing that the truck will be loaded most of the time so unless you are driving 70+ all the time then an OD trans wouldnt even be needed. Let it rev and it will pull like a dream. The newer autos seem to shift alot better but a hunting transmission is annoying when pulling a load. I am old school and still prefer to run a clutch pedal on any hauling truck.
